Russell Hobbs 28270 Good-to-Go Multicooker - 8 Versatile Functions including Slow Cooker, Sous Vide, Rice and Food Steamer, Black, 750 Watt

Product Information

If you're using the dishwasher, it's a cinch to clean. Once you remove the control panel, the cooking pot and lid can simply be popped in the dishwasher. Just bear in mind the pot will take up a fair bit of space. In theory, yes, as long as your multi cooker has the correct program (you probably don't want to 'grill' rice or 'stew' a cake).

However you may see some pressure cookers labelled as multi pressure cookers, or air fryers that also have other cooking functions, such as fry, roast and grill. Some multi cookers are more like slow cookers, with a less powerful heating element built into the base.

It also excelled at cooking rice and pasta, making this a great all-rounder whether you're whipping up a tasty stew, casserole, chilli, curry, or sides to accompany your main dish. My favourite feature of this impressive multi-cooker was the ability to sear and slow cook in the same pot without the need to use the hob at all. The keep warm setting was fantastic too – at the end of the cooking time, it automatically switched to this mode so food wasn't overcooked but was still hot when I was ready to eat. The recipe doesn’t have much information on how long to cook each part of the meal, so it did take some trial and error before I got it right. The Russell Hobbs Good To Go 6 is definitely an upgrade from previous models. It has a sleeker design, and far more functions and the removable pot is great for taking food directly to the table. We've tested the most popular brands, such as: Ninja multi cookers (including the Ninja Speedi and Ninja 15-in-1), Russell Hobbs, Tefal and more. Everything we tested got the job done. But some were a pain to use, and took so long to cook they left our stomachs rumbling – even then, the results weren't that appetising.

Instructions and recipes make a big difference to your cooking experience Some multi cookers give step-by-step guidance and tables with cooking programs and settings for various ingredients. Others throw you in the deep end, leaving you to guess the best mode to cook your dinner with.

Add the cream, peas and spinach, and bring to the boil. Once the mixture has come to a boil, stir in the pasta prepared earlier and bring to the boil. Turn off the multi-cooker and stir in the parmesan, garnishing the pasta with the chopped flat leaf parsley. Be aware of pre-heat times They are usually not included in the quoted cooking time in recipes, but can be 10 minutes or more if you're pressure cooking or steaming with the multi cooker. We factored preheat times when rating how fast each multi cooker delivered. For the purposes of our tests, we asked Which? members which programs they would most use on a multi cooker and from this defined a multi cooker as: an appliance with at least five different modes of cooking; one of these needs to be air frying or roasting/baking; and at least one other function from pressure cooking, slow cooking or steaming. Through testing a variety of different slow cookers, this allowed me to cross-compare the Russell Hobbs Good-to-Go with different models to assess its performance and offer a balanced view to help Mumsnetters choose the right slow cooker for their needs. Multi cooker is a term slapped onto all sorts of cooking appliances these days. However, the best models can do everything an air fryer can, while also cooking in other ways, such as pressure cooking, slow cooking and more.

The Good to Go Cooker is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances I have seen in a long time. Its various functions mean that it’s incredibly simple to cook one-pot meals - you can do everything from cook pasta, bake tarts and stew casseroles. A keen cook, she's always whipping up new creations and experimenting in the kitchen, and this often includes testing out the latest time-saving kitchen gadgets for Mumsnet.Each multi cooker was also assessed on how easy it was to operate, program and view food while cooking and how clear it was that food was done or needed turning.
